Seven Hundred and Fifty

The armor-piercing warhead of the individual rocket penetrated the shell of the car in the explosion. The car's abdomen exploded violently, breaking through the car's abdomen and shell. The huge car finally turned over and fell to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.

The gunshots stopped, the explosions gradually subsided, and everyone stared at the car with its intestines pierced and rotten. It was difficult for them to calm down. Everyone's breathing was as heavy as thunder.

The two armies of the United States and France officially joined forces, but the atmosphere after the meeting was very awkward.

Constantine wanted to execute Thomas's order immediately, but he felt that the current situation was not suitable for doing so. After thinking it over again and again, Constantine finally announced in front of a dozen French soldiers that Bruno's command position was relieved. After that, the two armies joined forces to continue exploring the alien warships.

The French soldiers were very dissatisfied with Thomas's order. Fortunately, Bruno was very sensible and constrained the French soldiers to obey orders, which prevented the conflict between the two armies and allowed the exploration to continue.

Although Constantine dismissed Bruno, the French soldiers still followed Bruno's lead. Constantine did not force them and turned a blind eye to the French soldiers.

With the previous experience of the car bug, everyone was much more cautious in the next action, especially when exploring the cabin, they were very careful.

According to the report of Bruno and others, Constantine believed that the cabin filled with mucus was probably a cabin specially used to hold car bugs, which functioned like a stable. In the subsequent actions, everyone found several stables, but no car bugs were found.

Not only car bugs, but no living creatures were found until the entire ship was searched.

The two teams spent more than three hours searching the wreckage. Finally, they summarized the situation and found a total of 14 alien corpses, one car bug (killed), and countless alien items of unknown functions.

Constantine also led the soldiers to find the cockpit of the alien spacecraft, but all the equipment was completely destroyed. Not to mention that humans do not understand the alien equipment, even if they do, they are afraid that they will not be able to repair those equipment.

The same situation also occurred in several other important cabins, but everyone could only recognize the cockpit, and no one knew what the other damaged cabins actually did.

However, after the data was summarized, Constantine carefully calculated based on the layout of the cabins and calculated that this warship could carry at least 500 to 700 aliens, but there were only 12 visible corpses, so where did the other aliens go?

Not only Constantine in the front had doubts, but Thomas in the back was also puzzled.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply called a group of staff to brainstorm and see if he could find any useful clues.

After some discussion, they really discussed something - according to the situation in the alien warship, the aliens must have domesticated more than one car bug, but only one was found in the warship, so the aliens were likely to leave on a car bug.

The staff believed that the aliens who had just arrived were unlikely to control the ant colony as soon as they landed, and although the car bugs were strong, they had no advantage in the face of thousands of giant ants. In addition, the car bugs were good at digging holes, so the aliens were likely to leave on the car bugs.

The car bugs are so big that the holes they dig cannot be small. If the holes left by the car bugs can be found near the scene of the incident, it is not impossible to track aliens.

With the mentality of trying everything possible, Thomas gave Constantine in front an order to search for the holes. Constantine immediately mobilized the coalition forces of the two countries and prepared to launch a dragnet search near the battleship.

The forest was full of giant ants, and the search could only be carried out smoothly with armored vehicles and poison smoke bombs. In order to save time, Constantine and his American soldiers took a helicopter to set off directly. The armored vehicles took several hours to arrive, and the preliminary search work had to be carried out by the French.

However, because of Thomas's order, the relationship between the two sides was very tense, and Constantine could not bear the consequences of disobeying orders again.

In order to prevent the French soldiers from slacking off, Constantine promised the French soldiers that as long as they cooperated well, he would definitely help Bruno to plead for mercy after returning.

He also skillfully said a lot of things like making up for his mistakes. In short, he spent a lot of time and finally mobilized the enthusiasm of the French army and launched a preliminary search.

Constantine and his American soldiers were not idle either. They started searching with poisonous smoke bombs in hand. Although it was not as safe as riding in an armored vehicle, the possibility of being attacked by giant ants was not high.

The armored vehicle had already boarded the plane at the forward base. It would only take an hour or so to be in place. Walking around was just a way to kill time.

Unfortunately, the soldiers circled the battleship and found no clues at all.

The vegetation in the rainforest was lush and inconvenient to move. The car bugs were so big that they should have left very obvious traces when they left.

But the alien battleship crashed more than two months ago. The plants in the rainforest grow rapidly. It would be difficult to find any traces even in two weeks, let alone more than two months.

The news from the front could not be concealed at all. The news that the search operation was deadlocked was soon known to the Djibouti Command Center, and the Chinese base not far away also received the news.

Not long after, the Chinese side took the initiative to provide a clue: based on the experience of the Maple City incident, the car bugs were likely to leave from the bottom of the alien battleship.

So Constantine and others had to return to the alien warship and check the bottom cabin carefully again, especially those places that might be exits, which were the top priority of the search.

In addition, Thomas transferred the two nearest teams to support Constantine. After the troops were in place, the search force doubled immediately.

Thomas even considered asking China to join, but this idea just popped into his mind and he immediately rejected it.

Just kidding, if China is pulled into the field at this time, wouldn’t the previous rejection be in vain?

An hour later, the transport plane arrived as scheduled and dropped the armored vehicles near the alien warship.

Shortly after the plane returned, the rainstorm arrived as scheduled, and the search operation was forced to be suspended. All the armored vehicles returned and directly blew up the outer shell of the warship and drove the armored vehicles in. It was a solid bunker that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There was no need to look for places to hide from the rain as usual.

During the rainstorm, the ant colony launched several waves of offensives, but they were defeated by the strong defense of poison smoke bombs.

At the same time, the two troops that received the rescue order were moving closer to Constantine, one of which was the Italian troops located more than 60 kilometers southwest.

The Italians had just finished lunch when they received the order and were about to find a place to hide before the rainstorm came. The Italians who received the order were not moved at all, and they soon found a spacious cave.
